Hands-Free Hat Light

The first time you see a hands-free hat light, your initial reaction will be “this is just a novelty item.” That is until you try it for yourself. There are literally hundreds of legitimate uses for a hands-free hat light.

Have you ever crawled under a car at night trying to repair an electrical problem? You need 2 hands, one to hold the wrench and the other to hold the wires. That 3^rd hand would be useful right about now. You have a flashlight, but it just won’t shine in area you are working on, or it falls over every time you move. How frustrating! The hands-free hat light will solve this problem; just move your head, aim, and shoot.

Do you enjoy cooking outdoors in the evening, but you can’t see if your steak is rare or well done? Wear the hands-free hat while working the grill, and you will see so well it will make your hunger grow.

Outdoorsmen use the hat when hunting and fishing. Try loading your rifle or baiting a hook in the wee hours of the morning, and you will appreciate the additional light. Fisherman will also appreciate the light when mooring a boat late at night.

The hands-free hat has become commonplace in the garage area at your local racetrack. Pit road lighting is generally poor, the crews are always in a hurry, and they don’t have time to mess around searching for a flashlight. They can lift the hood of the racecar, lean in, and view the action.

Campers will find the hands-free light handy. How often have you arrived late at night and struggled connecting your utilities? No longer will you need your spouse standing over your shoulder holding a flashlight.

There are several models of hands-free hat lights. You can purchase an integrated hat and flashlight combo, or you can buy a clip-on light. The clip-on model will add the versatility of choosing your favorite hat for the specific task at hand.

The lights are very bright LED lamps which run on coin type batteries. The batteries can last for up to 30 hours. One of the more popular models is called the Cyclops. How appropriate.

While the hands-free hat light is not the most sophisticated item you will ever own. However it may just be the most useful purchase of the year. The list is long: walking the dog, reading a book, or working in the attic. It makes a great gift for Father’s Day, Christmas, or employee giveaways.
